Orientation

I'm not supposed to say anything, oh really?
the whole thing is ludicrous, serious and silly,
can you guess what I'm talking about, I'll tell you,
even then you may not know, perhaps an overview.

The animal kingdom does not know right from wrong,
they have their own codes and God does not belong,
*****sapiens is a higher intelligence who knows all,
we do what we want and bang our heads against a brick wall.

I'd like to go back fifty years, it was good and right,
we know we have to move on, today's not the same bite,
maybe condemnation is as inevitable as electric cars,
whatever you may have to say - the stigma jars.

Some people won't admit they made a blunder,
nevertheless, their mindset makes us wonder.
